Birthday Honors for Barb

by Debi Pick Marquette

 

Barb’s forty-six-year marriage is to Brian, her sweetheart

Her faith and family, been most important from the start

She raised four boys, has three grandsons, and are terrific guys

But now she has four granddaughters, for Barb, a female prize

 

In Fort Hood, Texas, twenty-three years and proud army wife

She would not trade it for the world or have a different life

A teacher twenty six years, where she mostly taught first-grade

Now that she's retired, she has more time in the home she made

 

Her faith in God is very strong, and where her values stem

When I write other birthday poems, she’ll send message to them

Sounds like their dachshund entertains, along with their two cats

They keep on shaking their heads at their antic acrobats 

 

Her writing gives her peace as she’s a published novelist

If you have not been reading her, come see what you have missed

Our Barb has written five novels, you'll find at Amazon

FanStory 2023, she is ranked number one 

 

So, Barb, we’ll have your party near the Fort Hood Texas Flag

I’ll give a speech and I know that for you, I’m sure to brag

We’ll tell you what you mean to us, and give hugs in advance

We wish you, Happy Birthday, Barb; now sing, Lord of the Dance
